Today I thought of you. Not like I usually used to, fleeting mental pop-ups when I saw or heard things connected to you or what used to be us. Pop-ups which, initially used to be attached with hope, and then turned to split-second shots of something like despair.
I said I thought of you but all I have is a hazy confused recollection of some memories, not rooted to any context. Like an Sadhana.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04998676285312795772noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959188198585624430.post-36715478407720059872014-05-26T19:28:00.000+05:302014-05-26T19:28:17.328+05:30Good Riddance Engineering
As I'm writing this, the time is 7:18 p.m. and I haven't yet started studying for my last ever engineering exam. LAST EVER ENGINEERING EXAM! I never thought the day would arrive! This blog over the last years has witnessed some of my rants about exams, engineering, and math. As my engineering life's end approaches, I thought I should blog about it here. It's been an interesting four years.

I was always one of those people who had a plan for the future. "First this, then this, then that", I had my answer prepared whenever anyone asked "What do you want to do later?" but 3 years later when it's actually time to be clear about it, BAM! nomoreclarity.
I've tried multiple times and failed to write about this confusion of mine but failed utterly. But here's a word-cloud that'll do.

Rumi. That's what I'll call him, because that's what he called himself, even though his name was Ramanath. He was like one of those songs that could make you ecstatic when you hear them once, or sob with grief another time that you heard them, and you didn't know why. He was like one of those songs that defined every waking second you spent.

I love YA novels. There. I'm not ashamed to admit it (anymore). We live some of the best, or at any rate, the most vividly remembered and transitory times during our youth. Because that is when anything is possible, you know? You're young, you know things, you're wary but not as much when you become slightly older and you know that life disappoints and people go away. And in YA lit, you go Sadhana.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04998676285312795772noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959188198585624430.post-90227550316281544832013-11-11T16:25:00.003+05:302014-01-29T15:52:27.131+05:30
"What happened?" they asked.
"He's a dog person and I'm a cat person." she said, with a haf-smile and a nonchalant shrug.
That was the end.

It is a coincidence that I chose today of all days to come back to my blog. Because tomorrow is the day that this blog turns four. Four long years I've been venting out in this space, and when I look back at my blogging sojourn, I'm pleasantly surprised. I've written decent things in that "OHgodWai" style of mine that I used to have. I've made some wonderful friends through this blog, and I've Sadhana.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04998676285312795772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959188198585624430.post-21980857152607313912013-09-22T17:49:00.000+05:302013-09-22T18:08:21.330+05:30Comic Con Fun!
Colourful, crowded and CRAZY are the words that best sum up my experience at the Comic Con Express, Hyderabad. After multiple plans and fails, and giving up and the usual hoopla that is accompanied with any plan that I make to venture out of the vicinity of my house, I finally managed to get to Comic Con with a couple of friends and a cousin.

Being the only fat person in my circle where everyone is almost perfect looking (fair, thin, tall) hasn't been an easy thing for me to grow up with, live with or come to terms with. This discomfort has seeped into almost all parts of my social life, and I am awkward around people for the most part. This has also resulted in a drastic dampening of my dressing style. I'm a girl who would like to Sadhana.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04998676285312795772noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959188198585624430.post-77793686074475705532013-08-26T19:17:00.000+05:302013-08-26T19:17:06.434+05:30The Reluctant .COM
I, Sadhana C, am the of a .com, for my own blog. Although this seemed to be a rather good thing at the time that I bought it (for a 99p deal), now it just seems rather.. pretentious to me. I have nothing of substantive importance to say, what the heck am I doing with a website of my own? At the time, and I suppose even now, I feel that it is very important professionally, and sets one apart fromSadhana.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04998676285312795772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1959188198585624430.post-82142192494390514152013-06-02T22:50:00.001+05:302013-06-02T23:15:26.847+05:30Lessons in lifeAlways back up the data in your computer.

But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we'll be alright

As a result of a rather strange experiment/deal that I made with a friend, it so transpired that I watched the entireity of the Liverpool vs Manchester United EPL match that took place earlier.
First of all, what I know about football is this:
The basic rules
A few league clubs
The names of a few players
Everything that's there in an epic show called "Hungry Heart"

I mean, it's just so convenient for people like me who can't seem to interact with many people on a personal level, to just open up a browser window and start reading about a person's thoughts, even if they are random, incoherent and not very relevant.

Thanks to Blogadda, I came across an interview with a blogger, who wrote in one of his posts that the best thing about his blog, is his archive. It resonated a lot with me. Not that I am very proud of what I wrote earlier but my blog marks my transformation over the years.. I wouldn't have known the difference at the time, but looking at what I'd written earlier, it becomes so evident.

Today, I finally saw who/what ShinChan is.
Today, I saw a documentary about a family of monkeys named Rani, Isha, and Diya.
Today, I ate bread with cheese, and chilli powder. And garam masala.
Today, I listened to two lectures about the economy and regularization.
Today, I took more medicines than I probably needed to.
